[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Kim Samho) is making every effort to minimize gaps in health management for people with disabilities.

Gwangsan-gu announced on the 24th that since the 15th, it has been providing a health kit called ‘Geongangham’ to 400 people with disabilities in the district.

Suwan·Usan Health Living Support Center is collaborating with local organizations such as Gwangsan-gu Disabled Welfare Center and 10 local day care centers for people with disabilities.

With the cold winter approaching, the kit is composed of a total of 8 items including stretching bands, gloves, socks, patches, vitamins, and masks to help alleviate rehabilitation gaps and support self-health management for people with disabilities.

For those with mobility difficulties who cannot go outside, the kits are delivered through home visits.

In addition to providing the health kits, Suwan·Usan Health Living Support Center also operates a rehabilitation health room and offers continuous health management services through telephone consultations.

A Gwangsan-gu official said, “We will continue to operate various rehabilitation services to ensure there are no gaps in health management and care for people with disabilities.”
